他说,飞机高度“非常、非常、非常急剧下降”,机上“陷入了极大的恐慌”。
He said there had been a "huge degree of panic" on the plane as there was a "very, very, very sharp decrease in height".
起初,他以为这只是气穴现象,但“这种情况持续了很长时间,将近一分钟”。他说,所有没有坐在座位上的人都摔倒了。
He thought at first that this was simply because of an air pocket, but "it took a lot of time, almost a minute". Everyone who wasn't seated fell to the floor, he said.
波洛文奇克说:“几秒钟后,我们开始听到尖叫声。‘有人流血,有人被刺,我们需要帮助。’”他说:“说到底,你很快就会明白,到了这种时候,你根本什么也做不了。”
"After a couple of seconds, we started to hear screams. 'There is blood, there is stabbing, we need help'," Polovincik said. "At the end of the day, you understand very, very quickly that literally there is nothing that you can do at this point in time," he said.

"You just tell them, yeah, everything's going to be all right. It's just a malfunction in the aeroplane, there is a crew under control, the passengers are helping them, [you] hug them really hard and try to keep your face so it doesn't look very panicked, try to keep your tone of voice."

“在他们告诉我们情况‘得到控制’之后,要再向孩子们解释飞机故障就变得困难了,因为人们开始在飞机上走动,身上还沾满了血迹,”他说。
"After they told us that the situation is, again, 'under control', then it was a bit harder to tell the kids that it's malfunctioned because people start to walk around the aeroplane covered with blood," he said.

“如果不是他打开舱门,我们现在可能已经无法在这里交谈了,”他说,并补充道他“无法用言语表达我们对这位英雄的感激之情”。
"Without him opening the door, we're probably not speaking here right now," he said, adding that he "can't even start saying our gratitude for this human being".

After the situation onboard was brought under control, the flight was diverted to Saudi Arabia, where Polovincik stressed the passengers, who were almost all Israeli, were treated well.
“他们给我们送来了水、食物、咖啡,甚至还有给孩子们的糖果——尽管以色列和沙特阿拉伯之间没有任何外交关系,”他说。
"They brought us water and food and coffee and even sweets for the kids - even though we don't have any diplomatic relationship between Israel and Saudi Arabia," he said.
